Spoil everyone this Christmas

There’s no small kindness that’s too little – that’s especially true this festive season. Spoiling the family is a no-brainer after the strange year we’ve had. But what about the other everyday people in our lives that have made 2020 just a bit lighter and brighter? Here are some affordable gift ideas so you can spoil everyone this Christmas!

For your BFF

Even though virtual wine and quiz nights have become staples this year, we all know there’s nothing like hanging out for a weekend with your best friends. For a simple but sweet Christmas present, find your favourite photo together – whether that was a night out on the town or a fun holiday break – and slip it into this gorgeous vintage style frame. A lovely hanging reminder that better days are coming!

Hanging brass frame, £9.95

For your favourite shopkeeper

Local businesses need all the love this year, so if you have a favourite neighbourhood shop, consider buying their gift vouchers. If you want to treat them to something they can use over and over again, our Rex London jumbo bags are brilliant as practical gifts. Sturdy and roomy, these bags are perfect for storing, organising and transporting stock - whether that’s books, canned goods or clothes. 

For your post worker

Post workers have been some of the busiest this year. As a little token of thanks, this flask will keep their morning coffee or tea warm while they do delivery runs in the wintertime. Or if you know someone who’s delivering takeaway for a restaurant or a food delivery app, a rain poncho will come in handy!

For your child’s teacher

More than ever before teachers deserve our mega appreciation after a year of constant changes, from pivoting to virtual learning at the start of the pandemic to preparing Covid-safe classrooms. For something practical with a twist, our Periodic Table shopping bag makes for a great book bag or for carrying school supplies. Check out this teachers’ gift guide where we asked four teachers what they would love to receive as gifts. 

For your neighbour

Sticking to our own social bubbles this Christmas doesn’t mean we have to feel disconnected from our neighbours. Drop off a batch of freshly baked cookies inside this pretty biscuit barrel. If you know that they have a fireplace, give them this gorgeous box of long safety matches with a cute note that says, “hope this helps you keep cosy!”

For your work bestie 

Let your work bestie know how much you miss happy hours with them with our Garden Birds hip flask. Get a matching one so you two can enjoy virtual drinks after work! For something more practical but still quirky, a handy microfibre cloth that looks like a mini vinyl record is perfect for cleaning laptop and phone screens.

For carers

Whether it’s your babysitter, your little one’s daycare staff or your mum’s carer – or if you’re friends with a frontline nurse, it’s important to let the caregivers in our lives know that they are loved and admired for their work in these tough times. They’ll appreciate everyday essentials, like this lovely set of plasters with our Love Birds print, or a cute set of nail files for a little pampering on their days off. 

Love Birds plasters in a tin (pack of 30), £3.95

We hope you found a little bit of inspiration to do something kind – whether in words, deeds or little treats to make someone feel extra loved this season.
